Our 7 Favorite Famous Witches

You know how some people use witch as a bad word? Like, “That chick is such a witch.” Well, if anyone said that about us, we’d take it as a compliment. Honestly, we’d be pumped. Not that we’ve ever met one, but from what we can tell, having supernatural powers makes you fierce and tough and downright awesome. Don’t believe us? Check out these rad girls with paranormal powers and tell us you wouldn’t want to be part of this gang.

Alex from Wizards of Waverly PlaceSource
Okay, we can’t decide if we want to be Selena Gomez’s character or BFF her up. Either way, we want in!

Sabrina from Sabrina The Teenage WitchSource
Who wouldn’t want a talking cat and a closet that transports you to another world? We can only dream.

Hermione from Harry PotterSource
She’s got brains, Ron Weasley for a boyfriend, and Harry Potter for a best friend. Enough said.

Glinda The Good Witch from The Wizard Of OzSource
She wears sparkly things and gets a crown! Plus, she’s kind of like an angel. So much fun!

Cassie from The Secret CircleSource
Imagine finding out you have magical powers when you’re a teenager? And that you can do crazy things with them? It’s scary, but so cool.

Willow from Buffy The Vampire SlayerSource
Buffy got so much credit – but what about Willow?! She was so awesome in this show and part of the reason we started thinking witches were cool.

All of these supernatural ladies have one thing in common: they can all kick some serious butt and they’re all forces to be reckoned with – and we love that in a girl!
